The story of La Oreja de Van Gogh is about to open an unexpected chapter. The songs of the band from San Sebastian will jump to the big screen with Puedes contar conmigo, a new romantic musical film created and directed by Fernando González Molina, responsible for titles such as Tres metros sobre el cielo, the recent adaptation of Mi querida señorita as well as works such as Águila Roja, El barco, Los hombres de Paco, Luna, el misterio de Calenda.
The project has just been announced with the first working images and is currently in an advanced stage of development and script. The film is born with the aim of becoming a global cinematic event, taking as its starting point the musical universe of one of the most popular Spanish bands of recent decades.
Behind the production will be Beltrán Cortázar, Domingo Corral, and Gonzalo Salazar-Simpson, while the members of La Oreja de Van Gogh themselves will participate in the executive production. A step that turns their songs into more than just a soundtrack: they will be an essential part of the DNA of a story specifically conceived for cinema.
You can count on me thus promises to bring to the big screen that territory of emotions, romances, memories, and songs that La Oreja de Van Gogh has been turning into anthems for decades. And if cinema is just the beginning, perhaps we are talking about the first step towards a possible La Oreja de Van Gogh musical.
